When you select a profile for ad hoc networking, the system asks you to
restart your computer if your network settings need to be changed. Restart
your computer and then either start a network or select the network you want
to join.
Create your own profile for ad hoc networking with the Profile Wizard if
you use the ad hoc operating mode frequently. This saves you from having to
start a network each time and allows quicker access. See "Creating new
profiles" on page 22 for more information.
Three default profiles are created during the installation: Quick Infrastructure,
Quick Ad Hoc, and Wired LAN. With these profiles you can easily and quickly
establish a network connection: you get a list of available networks and can join
one without having to change the network settings manually. The Wired LAN
profile contains the original network settings needed for accessing the wired local
area network. Note that these profiles cannot be edited, deleted, or exported. The
Wired LAN profile, however, can be updated to comply with the current wired
LAN settings.
On the Profiles page, select the appropriate default profile and click Apply. If
1
your network settings need to be changed, the system asks you to restart your
computer. In that case, restart the computer.
A dialog box with a list of available networks opens. Select a desired network
2
and click OK. The wireless LAN card joins the network.
